Comment (by ross at soi.city.ac.uk):
Packages can declare dependencies on particular versions of the base
package, which is often what is meant anyway. Of course using
configurations to make it work with both is even better.
However the issue remains if a version of a package uses a language
extension introduced in a particular version of GHC. A work-around would
be to use base version as a proxy for GHC version, but the real thing
would be cleaner.
